What a lot of rot -- clearly a poor person said this as they tried to justify their poor financial situation.

Ask any normal member of society and they will tell you they would rather have more money than less. Money buys you choices. How and what you choose to associate happiness with is entirely up to you. Yes, happiness is a state of mind and part of the human condition is being in a state of continual frustration about our circumstances.

Money and happiness are two totally independent concepts and associating money with happiness is what we call in sales a false association. They are actually not at all associated yet by putting them in the same sentence we immediately assume they are dependent upon each other.

Whilst l know that l choose how l feel, l do regularly associate having money with being able to do things that l enjoy (choices) that l wouldn't otherwise have been able to do without money.
